Hi all sifu, need help for recommendation for an AV receiver.

Yesterday night, while I played my Bluray integrated HTS, my system blown, heard a pop sound, spark coming out near the disc tray, some smoke coming out, then system gone.
The speakers for the HTS are still ok, only the player/receiver gone.

Plan to get a cheap AV receiver with HDMI input that can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS MA, then plug back the old speaker with the amp.
Will buy a separate Cinavia free Bluray 3D player for the system.

Currently I only saw a cheap receiver that go as cheap as RM1199.
- PIONEER 5.1-channel AV Receiver VSX-329-K.

Still looking for much cheaper AV receiver with this capability.

I'm not into audiophile to invest more on the system, just need something cheap to begin with.

Usually those home theater system will not allow you to just buy a new receiver and plug the speakers in. You have to change everything

In of what it is not allowed to doing so?
My HTS speaker is not those hardwired with connector, it is more close to those AV receiver where it is wire clamp, you can easily plug in any speaker without any connector.

Another concern, maybe is the Ohm or Wattage of the speaker itself.
So, still need to change everything?

generally AVR supports 4ohms to 8ohms speakers

if you don't mind used stuffs...there are quite a few AVRs in several forums that may meet your budget

Thanks for your suggestion.
Notice the speaker spec of the broken HTiB is 4ohms, should be no problem.

May end up getting an entry level DENON AVR-X500
